a roadway connecting `Akolea Road and `I`iwipalena Road. The alignment of Haleloke Street parallels the alignment of the proposed 60 -foot wide future road right -of -way. JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUEST 3. If both collector roadways were to be built, they will be separated by only 330 feet, or roughly the length of one lot within Hilo Heights Subdivision. The Planning Director does not believe that having two collector roadways in such close proximity to one another will promote a functional roadway network within this part of the City of Hilo. 4. Access to the existing 37 -lot Hilo Heights Subdivision -Unit I is provided by Haleloke Street, a 60 -foot wide roadway that has sufficient width to serve as a collector roadway. The original master plan for the proposed 180 -lot Hilo Heights Subdivision project, that was never fully implemented beyond the existing 37 lots in Unit I, clearly showed the extension of Haleloke Street to the extension of `I`iwipolena Road. The 38 -lot Punahoa Mauka Subdivision located immediately makai of Hilo Heights Subdivision was approved in August 2010 and further extended Haleloke Street to a point just shy of `I`iwipolena Road. This subdivision and the extension of Haleloke Street has not yet been completed. 5. Looking at existing and future roadway circulation patterns as depicted on the City of Hilo Zone Map, it would be the Planning Director's preference that the proposed 60 -foot wide collector roadway shown on the City of Hilo Zone Map and located on the common boundaries of Hilo Heights and `Akolea Plantation subdivisions be eliminated in favor of designating the existing Haleloke Street and its future extension as the future connector roadway between Ainako Road and `I`iwipolena Road. This would resolve the need for the County to condemn the back yards of over 63 lots within the Hilo Heights, Punahoa Mauka, -2-
